    Code snippets library

    The Studio has a tab where you can add code snippets on your local machine (with a very small amount of code snippets already present). It would be nice to build a library of code snippets on the community site to perform a variety of tasks like u...

    Give Serial objects access to its parent

    Sometimes (often?) it's handy to get a reference to the parent object of a serial object.It can be done by a explicit Parent property and an Add method on the parent, but I think it should be there out-of-the-box. Btw: why isn't there a category O...

    Introduce an optional "mentor mode" for the Management portal (switched on by default for new installations) that detects common setup mistakes / best practices, and provides a pop-up to draw attention to them. For example, if the user sets %All i...

    See globals size in Management Portal.

    In System > Globals it would be helpful to see the globals sizes, and be able to sort them by this new column.

    Move users, roles, resources, user tasks, Mappings (etc) to a seperate Database, other than %SYS, so these items can be mirrored

    There's nothing worse than failing over to find that many of your users are expired or don't exist or that your tasks do not exist. While mirroring is tried and true, the non-mirrorable items, as previously listed, are needed for true redundancy.

    Break down IRIS in microservices
